==Consumption==
Doodh pati is famously consumed in northern India and Pakistan, where it is boiled along with cardamom, ginger and many other whole spices listed above. Typically, it is available at roadside dhabas and chaiwalas at street corners, but is most commonly prepared at home, though less so than its water based alternative. It is mainly consumed in North India and Pakistan, though it is also consumed occasionally in Nepal and Bangladesh and has spread even to the Middle East due to its popularity.

Doodh pati is also often served at roadside [[Dhaba]]s and [[Chaiwala]]s all over South Asia.<ref name="DAWN"/><ref name="Images"/> It is also consumed during leisure time after a hectic day.<ref name="DAWN">{{cite news|last1=Islam|first1=Nazish|title="Do parathay or ek doodh patti"|url=http://www.dawn.com/news/1269703/do-parathay-or-ek-doodh-patti?preview|access-date=26 September 2017|work=[[Dawn (newspaper)|Dawn]]|date=10 July 2016}}</ref>
